Research Groups, Centers, and Laboratories

There are many active research groups in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, comprised of overlapping sets of faculty members. These research groups are central to our research enterprise. Some of them also serve as broad graduate training areas (Behavioral & Cognitive Neuroscience, Clinical Science, and Cognition) and others describe groups of faculty with closely aligned research interests which also provide specialized graduate training for students. Click on the links below for more information about the nature and composition of these research groups.
